Fred does well in chemistry, foil and saber play, and so well in music that he was elected to the position of Student Leader of the Orchestra. He is a success now, and we are sure that he will be after he leaves BENJAMIN A POLSEMEN (Benny) 1122 South Street, Philadelphia Born: April 4, 1927 Course: Regular and Patternmaking Honors: Fencing Team, 2-1 to J-2.

If Chuck ' s” recipe for success doesn’t lie in his good looks and ambition, then it must be his fine personality which attracts so many friends. His girl friends , although numerous, never inter¬ fere with his school work. His ambition, to make life easier for his mother, will surely be fulfilled. Leadership in the battalion, music, and athletics prove this. Good luck, Chuck”; we’ll not forget you. fflorintljtan January [ 28 ]
